The Toffees are said to have agreed to pay £10m for the 19-year-old winger, who can also operate as a striker.

Lookman joined Charlton's academy in 2014 and has since emerged as one of the most exciting youngsters in the country.

He scored five goals in 24 Championship outings as the south London outfit were relegated to League One last season.

Lookman has also represented England at Under-19 and Under-20 level, winning eight caps across both age groups.

He committed his long-term future to the Addicks in the summer by signing a deal that runs until 2020 but that will apparently not stop him from becoming Ronald Koeman's first signing of the January transfer window.

His Everton sit currently sit seventh in the table, 11 points adrift of the top four.
